-- Public Enemy want you...to pay them to make their new album! The legendary hip-hop crew is looking to raise $250,000 from fans to fund the recording and release of their new record. They're doing it via a website called SellaBand. People who buy $25 shares not only get an exclusive version of the album, but also a portion of the album's profits. Click here to contribute, and pray your money isn't being used to fund Flavor Flav's viking-themed headwear collection.

-- Backwoods rockers Pontiak follow up their well-received 2009 LP Maker with a new vinyl-only, nine-song EP called Sea Voids on October 20 via Thrill Jockey.

-- Post-rockers Pyramids team up with hazy dirge pros Nadja for a full-length collaboration LP called Pyramids With Nadja due October 27 on Hydra Head. The album includes contributions from Simon Raymonde (Cocteau Twins) and Chris Simpson (Mineral).
